As promised I would include everyone with me on my adventure in Culinary Arts! I am taking Culinary Theory & Sanitation, along with Computer Applications. I have been in class since January 7th so far it's just a lot of dry book work. Learning the basics of kitchen safety, how to protect against food-borne illness, and sanitation. It's interesting though learning all the new things that most at home cooks don't really think about when they are busy in the kitchen. Like the proper way to thaw chicken or ground beef, or how to properly cool food after it's been cooked then store it. This week we had to make a "Dream Board", which is basically a poster board with magazine clippings and such of things we want to do with our culinary degree! I haven't put together a project of that kind in a really long time so to tap into my artsy side was fun! It turned out a lot better than I could have hoped! I was nervous about it but as I went it just kinda came together. Chef McGee (my instructor) mentioned that people who run the local restaurants will come to our school and interview potential Chefs, and they have even just picked a poster board they thought was neat and interviewed that person. So I wanted mine to stand out! Hopefully it does!!! Here is a peak for my viewers!
I do not have just one specific "dream" with my culinary skills, as you can see I want to try a lot of different things. I want to find my nitch! Why do just one thing when you can do many that you love?! I'm a dreamer :)
This week I am going to back to my Southern Roots and going to make a Peach Upside Down Cake! I'm excited to make this. It was between this, or a peach cobbler. Cake won! I also have a recipe for a homemade Chicken and Roasted Garlic Pizza as well as a Mushroom Alfredo! Stick around for those! :)
